The Shawshank Redemption

How do you talk about a movie that's been praised as much as Frank Darabont's The Shawshank Redemption? Well, there's always more to say, especially for a film that leaves you in awe every time you watch it. For those who haven't seen it, they might think of it as "that prison movie with Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman." Trust me, you're missing out if that's all you know. This isn't just another prison flick; it's a deeply emotional and thought-provoking masterpiece that explores the human spirit's resilience. The movie starts with the wrongful conviction of banker Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) for the murder of his wife and her lover. He's sent to Shawshank State Penitentiary, where he meets Red (Morgan Freeman), a long-time inmate who "knows how to get things." Together, they form a strong friendship that anchors the film. The choices they make and the relationships they forge create a rich tapestry of character development, making us care about their fate deeply. Darabont's direction and screenplay, adapted from Stephen King's novella, are top-notch. The pacing is excellent, allowing us to experience both the passage of time and the character's growth. The cinematography by Roger Deakins is absolutely breathtaking, with its moody, dark tones and excellent use of shadows, creating a stark contrast between the bleakness of prison life and the hope that lies within the characters. The acting in this movie is truly exceptional. Tim Robbins delivers a powerful performance as Andy, a man who never gives up hope despite his dire circumstances. Morgan Freeman's portrayal of Red is nothing short of iconic, with his smooth, soothing voice narrating the story and providing insight into life at Shawshank. The supporting cast, including Bob Gunton as the tyrannical Warden Norton and Clancy Brown as the brutal Captain Hadley, bring depth and nuance to their roles. The film is filled with memorable moments that showcase a range of filmmaking techniques. The iconic scene where Andy plays Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" over the prison's PA system is an excellent example of the power of music in cinema. It's a brief moment of beauty and freedom in an otherwise oppressive environment, and the choice to use this particular piece of music is a testament to Darabont's understanding of storytelling. Another standout scene is when Andy reveals his escape plan to Red. The sequence is cleverly constructed, with Darabont using editing, sound design, and visual storytelling to reveal the details of Andy's ingenious scheme. This moment adds a layer of excitement and tension, making the audience root for Andy even more. What makes The Shawshank Redemption stand out is its ability to blend drama, emotion, and hope in a seemingly hopeless situation. It's a beautiful exploration of friendship, redemption, and the power of the human spirit. The film's conclusion is a masterful piece of storytelling that leaves the viewer with a sense of satisfaction and the belief that good can triumph even in the darkest of times. Whether you love or hate prison movies, The Shawshank Redemption is a must-watch. It transcends its genre and offers something for everyone – a powerful story, outstanding performances, and expert filmmaking. This movie has rightfully earned its place in the annals of cinema history, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a film that will touch their heart and leave them feeling inspired.

A feel-good masterpiece, 9/10 :)

The Shawshank Redemption (1994); AFI #72

The movie most recently reviewed is likely the most popular overall of all the films on the list, The Shawshank Redemption (1994). The story was adapted from a Stephen King novella and the film was directed by Frank Darabont and stars Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. The film was nominated for many awards at the time of release, but was put up against Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump and didn't take home anything. Shawshank was nominated for 7 Academy Awards, 2 Golden Globes, 2 SAG awards, 1 Director's Guild award, and 1 Writer's Guild award. The modern reception is even more positive with a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes and an 80 from Metacritic. The film was ranked on the AFI Top 100 Movies, AFI Top 100 Cheers, AFI Top 100 Movie Quotes, and AFI Top 100 Songs. The film is also rated #1 with audiences according to a user-generated IMDB poll and BBC Radio 1.

Now that it has been established that the film has a reputation for being great, I want to go over the plot a little bit and then explain why the film deserves these accolades. Just to get things started...

SPOILER WARNING!!! DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE FILM!!! IT IS SO GOOD AND WELL WORTH AVOIDING SPOILERS BEFORE YOUR FIRST WATCH!!! IF YOU WANT A REMINDER BEFORE THE REVIEW, THEN READ AWAY!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The film begins with the trial of Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) who is accused of murdering his wife and her lover. Andy states that he did not do it and there doesn't seem to be evidence that put guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt, but he is found guilty and sentenced to two consecutive life sentences at Shawshank State Prison. His first night there, one of the other new inmates starts screaming to be let out and the head guard Byron Hadley (Clancy Brown) beats this inmate to death. It becomes apparent that things are bad at the prison, and it gets worse when some prisoners known as "the Sisters" start sexually assaulting Andy.

The whole film is narrated by another inmate named Ellis "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman) who is the man inside who get get things. Andy asked Red to get a rock hammer for carving rocks as a hobby and the two become friends. Due to this relationship, the two and some other friends of Red's are able to get work detail outside of the prison tarring a roof. While on the detail, the inmates overhear that the head guard Hadley has inherited a large sum of money and was complaining about the tax. Andy risks his safety but approaches the guard with a plan to shelter the money by having Hadley gift the money to the wife. Andy trades his help for some beers and a little bit of a rest for the gang.

Sadly, when Andy returns to the laundry room after the detail is over, he is continued to be attacked by the Sisters. One particularly bad time, Andy asks Red for a poster of Rita Hayworth and then is attacked while exiting the prison movie room. The Sisters beat Andy almost to death leading to a month in the hospital for Andy and a week in solitary confinement for the lead Sister named Bogs. To protect Andy so they he can use his accounting skills, Warden Norton (Bob Gunton) sends Byron Hadley to greet Bogs at his cell after returning from solitary and Bogs is beaten to the point of never walking again and is sent to another prison.

Warden Norton reassigns Andy to the library with inmate Brooks Hatien (James Whitmore), and it becomes obvious to Andy that he is being used as free labor as an accountant for all of the guards and wardens in the area. Andy is so good in the library that Brooks is paroled after over 50 years since he really is needed. Life is different from what he remembers and Brooks hates existing on the outside, so he hangs himself in the room of the halfway house that he is assigned.

Because of his good work, Andy is allowed to ask for money for the Shawshank library from the government. After years of constant letters, the state gives Andy an allotment of donated books and a monthly allowance to expand the library. In this time, Warden Norton starts to use the inmates as cheap labor to take government contracts. This seriously affects the local companies and Warden Norton begins to accept bribes so that he will allow the small local companies to get contracts with the state. Andy creates a fake persona with his banking skills so that any investigation that could arise from this illegal activity would lead to a person that does not exist.

After many years, a new inmate named Tommy Williams (Gil Bellows) shows up and makes friends with Andy, Red, and their crew. Andy teaches him to read and helps Tommy earn his high school equivalency certificate so he can get a job when he gets out. Tommy eventually learns of Andy's conviction and says that he was a cellmate with a guy that claimed to have murdered a woman and golf pro and that the crime was pinned on her husband banker. It perfectly fit the scenario of what Andy was convicted of, so Andy goes to the warden to ask about a retrial. The warden says no and Andy immediately starts saying he won't tell anyone about the bribes and accuses the warden of being obtuse. The warden takes exception to this and puts Andy in solitary for a month.

While in the hole, Tommy finds out he barely passed his GED exam and will have job prospects when he gets out. He wants to help Andy so he tells the warden that he will swear in a courtroom that Andy was innocent. The warden plans a meeting with Tommy at the main gate and instead has the man shot for "attempting to escape." The warden also gives Andy another month in solitary.

When Andy is finally let out, he starts acting strangely, like he has given up on life. A quote that is a theme of the film is "get busy living, or get busy dying," and it seems that Andy might have chosen the latter option. He seems very depressed in his continued work for the warden and he gets a length of rope that he takes to his cell. All of his friends are worried about him that night and all seems lost when Andy does not come out for the morning count. Upon inspection, it appears that Andy has vanished from his cell. Warden Norton is outraged and demands Andy be found, tossing his cell and throwing the little rocks Andy had been carving around the little room. There is still a poster on the wall (no longer Rita Hayworth but now Raquel Welch) and one of the rocks goes right through it, revealing a hole that Andy had tunneled over the years and used to escape.

This reveal is the best part of the movie and follows closely to Stephen King's novel. Andy had been using the rock hammer to slowly tunnel through his wall and was hiding it behind the girlie posters that Red had given him. The warden had never confiscated the posters as a gift to Andy for keeping quiet about the bribes. The night of the escape, Andy had stolen a suit of the warden's that he had been tasked to have cleaned and put it in a bag, using the length of rope to drag it behind him. Andy had gotten into the walls and used the cover of a lightning storm to smash into a sewage pipe and crawl 500 yards through raw sewage to a drainage river outside of the prison. He put on the suit and then used the fake identity he created to collect about $370,000 of the warden's bribe money from a dozen banks and escape to Mexico. Andy also sent the accounting books to a local newspaper and the police raided the prison to arrest both Hadley and Norton. Tough guy Hadley started crying when he was arrested, but the warden shoots himself instead of allowing himself to be taken to prison.

Years pass by and Red is paroled after serving 40 years in prison. He also is have trouble adjusting and considers either committing a crime to be sent back or killing himself. The only thing that keeps him going are instructions given him by Andy the night before the escape to go to a specific tree in the city of Buxton and check under a special rock for something Andy left behind. Red finds the stash and it is money and a note to go to Mexico and meet Andy. The movie ends with Red arriving on a beach in Mexico and he sees Andy working on a boat, just like he said he wanted to do. The two embrace and the credits roll.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't say enough how good the reveal of the escape is. As far as reveals go, I feel it is one of the top 10 of all the movies I have seen. I truly hope that whoever reads this did not read this synopsis before seeing the film because the unspoiled reveal is a jaw dropper. I have seen it so many times and yet it still elicits a cheer from me every time. If you are willing to deal with the suffering, then the payoff is about the best there is that can be found in cinema.

Despite being as popular as it is now, the movie did not get a whole lot of attention when it first came out. This was partly because the only good Stephen King adaptations had been directed by established directors like Stanley Kubrick, Brian De Palma, and Rob Reiner. This was Frank Darabont's first full length feature as a director and a lot of the general public did not pay attention until it got Oscar buzz. That didn't do a whole lot for the movie because the sentimental juggernaut called Forrest Gump absorbed the pop culture crowd and the independent film fans gravitated towards Pulp Fiction. The film is now considered by some to be the best movie of the 90s, definitely the best Stephen King adaptation by many, and one of the best films of all time by a few nostalgic cinephiles. Personally, I rate it as one of the easiest films to rewatch and enjoy of all time.

This film is the first time that I remember Morgan Freeman's dulcet voice gracing the screen as a narrator. I was first starting to be aware of cinema around 1989 (I was very young but my mom loved Siskel and Ebert so I heard a lot about movies early on) and I remember Freeman was in everything that year: Driving Miss Daisy, Glory, and Lean on Me. I knew I liked him as an actor and seeing him in interviews was very entertaining because he seemed so nice, but it was that voice that first stood out to me in this film that made me a true fan. March of the Penguins sealed it, of course, but this film really started it. Great actor, great voice, and great guy.

I generally don't do this for a review, but I went back and actually read the source material. What can I say, I had some credit on Kindle that I wanted to use. Anyway, this is one of the few times that the film stayed really accurate to the book. Apparently, Darabont is a huge Stephen King fan and asked to direct the project himself after adapting the screenplay. The only real difference is the very end, and Darabont tried to end it with Red preparing to leave for Mexico (like in the book) but the studio demanded a final meeting at the beach (which felt corny and out of place). It is all the more impressive to me that Darabont created something that was not the picture I had in my head, but it is immediately recognizable and familiar with what I had read and pictured myself.

Some factors of note towards the quality of the movie are the soundtrack and the cinematography. The film was scored by Thomas Newman, whose other works include Scent of a Woman (1992), The Green Mile (1999), American Beauty (1999), and WALL-E (2008). The use of deep strings is kind of a signature of Newman and it matches the tone of the film so well. Matched with the beautifully depressing shots of the prison by cinematographer Roger Deakins, especially the helicopter shot of the prison when Andy first arrives and the closing-in crane shot of Andy in the rain right after escaping the prison, the score really shines. Both Newman and Deakins were recognized with Oscar nominations for their respective roles, but neither took home a trophy that year.

I could go on, but the aspect that hit me the most was that everyone who is following along with my list that watched to give the film comments all loved the film. This is a real crowd pleaser and something that I highly recommend. The younger generations seem to be obsessed with the 80s and 90s right now, and this is a perfect example of some of the great media that was produced in that time period. Truly a classic.

So does this film belong on the AFI top 100? With how much it has become a part of the culture, I think it should be higher. It had 7 Academy Award nominations and is the best screen adaptation of the most well known American horror novelist. Of course it should be on this list and I am glad to see it is now getting the recognition it deserves. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Like I said before, it is a real crowd pleaser. There is some subject matter like prison rape and suicide that I might caution a viewer about, but the payoff is nothing short of spectacular and well worth it. I actually bought the movie for my Amazon Prime account and I think I will watch it one more time before moving on to the next film. Truly amazing movie.

WIP Wednesday

I was tagged by @scribbledquillz to share a snippet of writing! Inspired by @october-rosehip's latest AO3 in Strange Luck, I'm polishing up a Bournshire Boys fic and making it consistent with both universes it takes place in; timeline is a couple years before the Blight Year, while Alistair is still a recruit.

No untoward emotion played across Ser Clancy’s face, and Alistair doubted his assumptions. Enchanter Sini probably left when Alistair wasn't looking. Ser Clancy was probably… replacing a ladder or something.

Then Ser Clancy said, “No, I don’t think this room is appropriate for discussion,” in a carrying voice. Anyone in rooms nearby could hear him. “Let’s go to the templar library, they have all sorts of sound-dampening there.”

Instead of taking the suggestion, Alistair stepped forward, a pace away from Ser Clancy, suddenly angry again. He knew he’d been getting taller, but he was surprised to find he was now at eye level, perhaps an inch or two taller, compared to the older templar.

“She is still in there!” Alistair blurted, though not as loudly as Ser Clancy. “What are you hiding?” Shock finally flickered on Ser Clancy’s face, covered over quickly with that neutral look. “How could you take advantage of a mage like that?” Alistair continued.

Ser Clancy huffed. “Well, since you’ve already assumed the worst, why don’t you come inside?” He opened the door.

Let's see, who's writing now? I'll tag @october-rosehip, @periwinkle-warden, @wild-houseplant, and @dafan7711 just because I know they are

Walker and Bullet deserved redemption arcs and backstories don’t @ me

*cracks knuckles*

BUCKLE UP BITCHES, IT'S GONNA BE A BUMPY RIDE

Ok, but here's my hot take on Bullet and Walker's backstories and (maybe, possibly) character arcs

⚠️(Tw: mentions of death, murder, and/or very touchy topics. Viewer discretion is advised)⚠️

SO-

They knew each other in their past lives, as humans, and can remember bits and pieces, but it's fuzzy.

Bullet met Walker when he applied for a job at the prison. He needed a crew cut job to fit his resume before he retired in like, fifteen+ years

Idk, the name Braden Rameriaz fits?? A 40 year old with his eye on the prize

He is-

An African American/Hispanic black man

A raging bisexual

And has to live down in a good ol' racist and homophobic town where he has to work at

This is where he meets Walker though! Walker is the warden of the prison where he sees Bullet applying for a job at.

Jeremiah Sales, 45, good-looking, not so good with the ladies...

White/Indigenous/African American male

A pretty fucking gay cowboy if you ask me //joke

Pretty much closeted his whole life living in the same old town with his family around (yikes, I know how that feels)

So Walker hires this hot shot, and sees that he does...pretty well, at first. But when things start to get hard, his lackey position earns him to second-in-command, right at Walker's side.

A few years go by, and the two grow closer together, like, really close 😳

They didn't realize that they were gay cause a) Walker gives off straight vibes and b) Walker thought Bullet only liked women. So it was like, "Wait, you're gay?? And you thought I liked only women??"..."Well I thought maybe you were taken, so..."

Yay relationship!! It lasts for a few months until the love has to end

So one day it was a normal day at work, but Bullet got the day off so he decided to go for a swim. Where they live there's a lake which is good for fishing and swimming in the summer months. So he had a good thing going when some co-workers show up and act as if they were having a cookout near the lake. (The co-workers were planning this from the start).

Bullet thinks they're just having a good time, so he tries to mind his business. But as soon as he rose back out of the water, they hold him down and push him back down into the water...until he doesn't move anymore

The next day Walker expects Bullet to come in as per usual. But he hadn't been answering his phone, his house phone, or any other immediate family members. So he files a missing report, and goes on about the order. The co-workers, however, had other plans. Walker called an official meeting to try and find Bullet, and his last known whereabouts.

"Sir..."

"Yes, Clancy?"

"We apologize, but...we don't take kindly to you or your kind."

"What-"

Shot. Dead. Three times is all it took.

He realizes where he is once he materializes into the ghost zone, and he's angry, and mourning, and confused. Why would they do this to him? He tried his damndest for each and every guard at that prison. Why? Why him, and why Bullet? What did he do to deserve any sort of treatment?

His mind is a mess, he's disorderly, and can't make sense of it all. He drops to his knees and cries, sobbing what he has left until no more tears come out, while his ghost forms to what remains of him. A former skeleton of what he was.

"Walker?"

Bullet had been in the zone for a day, with a pair of cargo pants, a bandana, boots, and a worn-out cape that he found. He had mourned and mourned, crying over the pain in his eye as he was plunged under the water, leaving a mark over it. Crying over how he would never be able to breathe, love, or being touched again. Although his appearance helped better himself.

Reunited at last, they lived out the rest of their days in the ghost zone, still not over to what happened to them, still wanting revenge, but happy to be in each other's arms again.

For the redemption arcs, it would have to be something rule oriented or something happening to danny to really come to Walker and Bullet for help.

Danny would have to deal with runaway ghosts out of the zone to really screw up and not be able to protect the town.

So he's humiliated into doing this. And he manages to find Walker's lair, and find both Bullet and Walker at the door, looking confused (they're married, don't @ me).

"Walker, I need your help. Badly."

So Bullet has to talk Walker into helping the kid after he's explained to them what's going down in the real world. He firmly agrees, and Walker spends the rest of the day doing cleanup control with Danny, who's having a blast beating ghosts and even talking to some of Walker's guards.

Bullet's there watching as he helps out with the control. He's sort of smug, but he's cooing over the fact that the kid is growing on Walker.

"Got room for another second in command, Sheriff?"

"No. But I'm considering it."

"The kid's grown on you after all. With his ghost control over this town, it reminds me of a certain cowboy."

At the very end of the day, Danny thanks Walker and Bullet for all their help, and he sees that they genuinely take a compliment, rather than being stoic and gritty, like they usually are.

"Sure kid. Just call me if any ghost is breaking any rules!"

#danny phantom #dp walker #danny phantom walker #dp bullet #danny phantom bullet #dailu rambles #there's my hot take #just. just take it #anon #ask
